XBMC needs hardware accelerated opengl rendering. Install an appropriate driver

This message appear on my last usb xbmcfreak live image after some reboot.
I reinstalled several times the image but the problem reappair.
My motherboard is a Asus AT3IONT-I DELUXE.
No problem with the stable xbmc version (march 2011).
Any suggestion?

It's missing the NVIDIA drivers by the sounds of it...can you try dloading and installing to see if that fixes it up?

pinkpinkpun · 2011-09-30, 07:19

hmm... how I reinstall the driver?

pinkpinkpun · 2011-09-30, 08:40

ok.
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
reinstalled.
same problem

No one have an idea?

You need to dload the XXX.sh file and run, install it from NVidia site.

The link you suggest report after pushing the search button this:

•No certified downloads were found for this configuration. To include beta downloads in your search, click here.

Clikking "here" there is a list of nvidia ion driver and not an HDMI audio driver.
All the files are .run, not .sh

This is the 32-bit version of the file you need. If you're using a 64-bit kernel choose accordingly.

There is no requirement for a separate 'HDMI Audio driver' in Linux.

Ok downloada the new drivers.
Via filezilla putten in /homd/xbmc/
Started installation:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run
Told me that is not possible to install 'cause the xserver.
Tried to stop: ctrl+alt+f2
Then appear instead classical prompt a infinite different lines: for example
[121.xxxxxx] hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1

Via putty triing to install nvidia driver when this lines appear tolt that xserver is active.
How to exit xserver why appair this lines?

What I typically do is boot into one of the available 'recovery modes'. That way no X server loaded.

Looks like you're on right track.

Or try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' or something similar.

Already tried. No such file directory. The file doesn't exist.
Tried also (with no success):

Quote:edit the file /etc/inittab in the line
id:5:initdefault:
change it to:
id:3:initdefault:
reboot...
then you'll enter without the X server

the file inittab was empty.

Recovery mode should do it if it exists on your grub. Exit XBMX "should" also work but I think it gould screwed up again in Dharma.

The "proffesional" way to do it is to switch to another terminal...something like ctrl+alt+ f8. Then you need to stop x.

If you are running xbmc-live it could be something like this depending on verion.

edit: stop of course, not restart.
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop

(I have google on my computer, thats how I know this)

pinkpinkpun · 2011-10-09, 09:47

There is a recovery mode: if you press left shift during the boot you can select the recovery mode. But for me is not usefoul: I can't use putty becouse the lan is not working and the pc terminal is not working because of the infinite errors message of the usb port.
I tried every 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'.

vikjon0 · 2011-10-09, 09:57

If you do not have gdm installed "gdm stop" will not work.
That is why you need to do
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop

If that does not work you need to find the correct command for your installation.
This is not random.

vikjon0 · 2011-10-09, 10:01

BTW, if you have no problem with the stable xbmc (live?) WHY would you have to do this? Just install the same nvidia ppa that is used in stable xbmc or ask the xbmcfreak people for support.
